I think they will tax the rich to pay the poor, to sit on their backsides. ISAs will be the last to go, there would be too much public protest about such a move. I have moved, nearly, all of my investments into ISAs.

Shares go ex-div on 12th of Feb. You need to hold them by end of play on 11th Feb. Dividend is € 0.54 paid on 25th Feb minus the German with-holding tax, so around 30p per share. Check the values, I'm working from memory.

Why is the SP dropping? I see the 737 problems, but there is compensation on the way from Boeing. I see Thomas Cook out of the game. I see an airliner shot down over Syria by accident and general tensions in the Middle East thanks to dear Donald. SP is 882 now, why?

Miner, I am sure you will have numerous replies to you request. I will start with the need for research. You cannot know too much about the company, read RNS releases , newspaper articles, company accounts, in fact, anything to do with the company. There are a number of books available to help get you started on investing, I suggest you read a few and then go on to make your own mistakes! ( we all have made mistakes). Keep a lid on your costs and be prepared to sell at a small loss before it turns into a big loss. A number of websites give free information, some charge. Don't forget to keep a lid on your costs. Good Luck.

Sold mine this morning 14.5 after costs. Huge loss but, as you say, the deal could fail and LWB would be toast. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush!

My nan used to drink thirds, about right for the yanks!

27p? You lost me, I thought LWB was trading at 9-10p today.

Well said, Gerry. I remember the "good old days", nationalised industry with unions holding us ALL to ransom, money being poured into poorly run, unprofitable enterprises. Governments are composed of politicians, not industrialists. Keep the politicians away from running( ruining?) industry and let the industrialists make their profit, there is benefit there for all.

The annual rise towards ex-div day.

Ha Ha, renewable energy.......wind blows....Just brilliant!

Yesterday this site quoted 15/2/19 as the payment date, this morning it quotes 26/2/19, with 11/2 AND 13/2 as the final ex-div dates! Other sites still quote 15/2. These are not brewery shares are they?

This site and others quote 15th Feb as the payment date. Where am I going wrong? LSE has never given out false info has they?

Caveat, the offer is to give 1.5587 new ordinary shares of £0.025 NOMINAL VALUE each for every ACG share. They may not have a sale value of 2.5p. Good news, though. Movement at last.GLA.

Twoshirts, you are correct in that the fund managers have an opinion and they express it. When was the last time a fund manager asked your opinion? They appear to be making assumptions about everyone else's opinions without reference. They should not be voting on the basis of those assumptions.

It's about time the fund managers were reminded that they don't ACTUALLY own the shares, so why are they allowed to vote as though they own the shares they manage?

They would not be selling if there was a profit being made, especially when one of their competitors is making such a pig's ear of it!

CLLN going out has left a huge hole in the market, contracts half finished, other contracts in the middle of negotiations etc. GFRD will pick up a proportion of this work with the low-margin, low quote competitor gone. We should see better-priced projects now with decent margins.Any price under 1200 is a buy IMO.

Philpot, I read the RNS to mean the remaining works to complete the project were planned to cost CLLN �80m, which G and BB now have to pick up. The CLLN contribution to the project stopped at 7 am yesterday. The ongoing works are, therefore, at the cost of the remaining partners and so should be the income from those works. One for the quantity surveyors, what was the value of works completed before 7.0 am yesterday? My glass is half full, as always.

The RNS refers to �80m equally shared by G and BB. Does that not count as �40m each of extra business with the appropriate returns? The projects being built by C will all have to be completed, so G must be in with a shout for the extra work. Patience today might prove to be a virtue.

Gazza, the isa date is April 4 , isn't it?
